Our season started this weekend, with a league match on Saturday and a Cup match Sunday.
Saturday one lad in the opposition side (Chipping Norton 1st) used a Funky bat and had a SAF bat in his bag. Also on show were a few Newburys and a Salix
Sunday the opposition captain (Westbury 2nds) used a Kippax Stallion Signature, went really well. again a few Newbury bats
on display from our two teams were
1 x Onhands
1 x CF prem
5 x Hell4leather 666
1 x Hell4Leather Tempo
1 x CA 15000
and a lot of cheap CA's and Malik's

Loads of woodstocks, couple of MSR's.
Also a few mars bats from the opposition at the weekend
-
Saw a FatBat yesterday which looked very nice!!
-
a sunday team called "ebernoe" had a few interesting bats i didnt think i would have seen!
a bulldog, mongoose, woodstock, millichamp and hall even a pair of SAF gloves floating in there too!
-
On Saturday I actually saw somebody in full Salix AJK kit! Toed a six straight and edged one for six over square leg, seemed to be alright. Looked nice!
-
I played against someone with a vintage dynadrive... used to very good effect as he planted one of my declaration pies into the woods!
-
Nothing interesting from my club this week. Literally all SS or similar. Still they were used pretty well!
-
On Saturday the oppo had lavers and red ink and GN oblivions on my team nothing special really a couple of kookaburra players bats

Hadn't held one before, he said it was 3lb 8oz.
He got 11 off of 6 before being caught on the boundary
-
One Chase bat was the only thing of real note amongst our opponents this week. New Uzi Green Mamba in our side barely tested other than an inside edge into the stumps!
-
Well, on the opposition I saw a really fake Newbery Thruxton, a very nice genuine Newbery Thruxton. Also one guy had Powerbow Test pads, Legend 2013 gloves and the bright blue masuri lid. So nice!
Is this for forum kit or just any nice kit we spot?
-
As mentioned elsewhere, someone had a Blueroom Swell. Didn't expect to be seeing one of those. Did some damage to us with it too
-
Some kid on the opposition had an AJK bat, didn't bat in top 6 though.
-
Played against a team who's opening batsmen had the full new choice kit. Bats, pads and gloves!
-
Quite a few HitsHard bats floating around my home club. From the oppo this week there wasa bit of Willostix gear then nearly all GM gear mix of new and old.
-
Saw a lad on Saturday use an Arytek bat
-
Saw one of the oppositions bigger hitting batsman using full H4L gear the other week, looked very nice.
Other than that nothing special, couple of Newbery's, a Woodstock and an SS
-
Saw a lad on Saturday use an Arytek bat
that was me you idiot lol
-
Our opener has a beast of a Black Cat.
Doesn't look special, but it bloomin' goes.
Our top order has a Laver, BC, Salix and MSR.
-
2 of the oppo used Kenny's cheating laminate Puma, neither could use it to good effect. I tried to expose it as a lammy but Kenny had done a good job with the fibre tape and I couldn't see the join lol
We had a Red Ink, CA, Ayrtek, RPC in the top 4.
-
Our opo on Saturday had no really kit of any note, but lots of Willostix gear on show from our lads and the same in Sunday loads of Willostix gear. But on Sunday we playing Kent academy and they had 2 or 3 nike sponsored players and a couple of kookaburra sponsored players with top notch gear!
-
Dumbleton had 2 top end Hawk bats, the rest had crappy big name brands (low to middle models at that).
I opened with my RPC gun and rest of my rabble had crappy big name brands. My RPC got way more attention than the Hawks and by the two Hawk owners as well.
Wait and see what's in next weeks league game. Defo two Bluerooms for sure
-
Our 3rd XI captain had an Amplus. Our 1st Team skipper has Charlie French and another 1st teamer has Salix.
I'm just using my own homemade bats, which are getting some attention as the middles on them are just starting to open up! Getting some absolutely cracking gunshot-type sounds when I middle anything!
-
Was a Joker being used by one of the opposition tonight, other than a Newbery Uzi nothin else they used really caught my eye.
-
Oppo tonight used a decent CA 1000 and then a load of dross with fake boom boom/spartan/reebok stickers on.
A very nice set of chase pads were the only other notable items. Oh and The keeper used GN legend gloves which I borrowed after forgetting my own....
-
Oppo's opening bat had a laver and scored a ton. there was also a saf bat and choice bat
-
There were a couple of nice looking Shark bats on show today. Unfortunately one was only at the non-strikers end for the last over.

yesterday the oppositions opener had a brand new Affinity Cricket Bat, looked really nice. Did not get to see it being use for long, as he top edged our quick bowler to gully for 0.
one of there bowlers was "Mr SAF kit", pads, bat, gloves, bat cover, bag and even a SAF hoodie. Looked a bit naff, but I wished I had them all.
Our captain has hit two fifties in the past two games with his New CF prem and the bat is not even started to open up yet, it is going to be a real gun.
-
I'm actually quite surprised as to how many "old" bats are still being used on a regular basis!

-
In our game Vs Marcham this week, one lad had a Rubicon bat, never seen one before
-
At the weekend the opposition included a lovely looking GN Nitro, loads of grains, sounded great too (as he deposited two balls on the pavilion roof). Also a very nice GM Catalyst.
Highlight of the week was last night in a T20. We had a new guy playing for us, showed a lot of interest in my B3 as I waited to go in to open. He came in as I was out with a pair of CF pads and gloves and what looked to be a brand new Newbery, but with the stickers from the 80s (a la Mike Gatting). Clearly refurbed superbly, just a mystery as to where he got the retro stickers - it looked brand new!
I was going to ask him about it but he was not in the best of moods after being run out!

A little disappointed, everybody from around my area don't go for the smaller custom brands.
Oppo had an Australian GN and a fair few Kookaburra's, about it :(
-
Not really much worth of note, we had a GN Oblivion Players and my Laver, but the opposition had a lovely looking SS which I managed to get photos of. 8)

Tapped up really nicely too!
-
opposition put out two Funky bats and an onhands bat.
-
Saw some Astoria pads today, told the kiwi wearing them that he's in a pretty cool club sporting those, he appreciated it.
Also saw an SM Pintu (these are being sold by a guy in the local area out of his garage) nice stick but certainly not a grade 1++ (yes, plus plus) as their website claims, and not worth £355 either.
Also saw a very nice Laver at the weekend, told the guy his bat had done a lot of airmiles to play in an average Sunday league, he was out shortly after and they were all out for 39 chasing our 159 :D
-
Saw a guy destory the bowling today 40 off about 12 balls using a msr i sold him....
Also used my Gn legends pads today must say very nice in a strange way..
-
What are Astoria pads Jake?
-
What are Astoria pads Jake?
Astoria is/was a brand that was very popular for a short period and then seemed to dissapear overnight, I first came across their stuff when I was in Australia, not sure if they are an Aussie/Kiwi, UK or Subcontinental brand but their softs always struck me as classy looking and comfortable.
Nothing can be found about them online and I don't know if they still exist but it was cool to get a blast from the (sort of recent) past.
All I can find from them now is clearance whites for sale, no equipment.
-
Did Matthew Maynard not use Astoria for a while?
-
Probably the most interesting match of the season yesterday for oppo kit. A nice looking Laver from their opener who didn't hang around long enough to show what it could do. Sadly neither did the guy he let borrow it down the order! Two guys with Uzi Sports Black Mambas, one of which we got to see ping a few nice boundaries.
-
Played against a team with a lot of SS, Ishan and CA bats between them. Were a couple of Adidas ones in there too.
I was too wound up by their cheating to pay any real attention to their kit unfortunately!
-
3 lavers this weekend
-
Astoria gear used to be sold out of the Glamorgan club shop a few years ago if i remember rightly
-
best bat I have seen so far was a fisher custom that was lovely
don't see to many of them
-
Just been to watch Lincolnshire v Suffolk in the Minor Counties 3 day cup, Suffolk lads had Aedos and Piranha (?) bats, not sure if there were any other quirky things... ooo yes someone had blueroom stuff.
-

Last midweek game their openers used a black cat and a redback paradox, the black cat in particular was very nice.
-
a sunday team called "ebernoe" had a few interesting bats i didnt think i would have seen!
a bulldog, mongoose, woodstock, millichamp and hall even a pair of SAF gloves floating in there too!
know most of the lads who play there, the guy with the m&h gets a new one pretty much every year. he's had screaming cats/ salix'/ lavers. pretty much all the top end of things he's had none of which help with his batting. Saw a D&P last week at Brook CC
-
Last midweek game their openers used a black cat and a redback paradox, the black cat in particular was very nice.
I bet you played my old team Sheffield Centralians, I can remember M Wrigglesworth having the RedBack. Surprised to see a BlackCat though!
-
It was centralians we played, they beat us quite easily as all round they were a better side. Other opener was called Pal, looked a decent player.
-
Yeah, don't know him, he joined after I left. We have moved from the works league to the alliance league now.
-
saw a bankys cricket bat yesterday from guy off here!
it was his dad using it
-
What bat was it simmy???
Played his Dad on sat but dont remember the bat??
-

Was wondering when this would pop up! Jon had a Talisman Storm, also mentioned he had an Aldred. Shame none of our lot used ours properly...
-
Tumo, been playing in Lincolnshire for 17 years now, only ever seen one player, lad who plays for Louth, use a custom bat. Then in one game all these lovely bats on show. Shame I couldn't have given more of a showing myself, ran out for a duck... 2 catches though...
-
not a custom bat but an aussie was using a sids black mamba and it flew 9 sixes and big un's

I've seen quite a few recently. You missed out, the 2 B3s at the club are absolute screamers! Gutted I couldn't make more use of mine, ran out of partners although that happens when you bat at 9!
-
At least 5 solitaires on saturday. At knowle.
1 hawk x10 ??? Think thats the model
And at the other end of the scale a quality quaife and lilley.
A cicada . V sports and a matrixx from our guys.
-
I Umpired this week, the two openers for Witney Swifts both used Hawthorne Sports Torpedos
-
So last Saturday my little apprentice played for his club and scored a 84 ball 124* using his Blueroom with pink decals. Obviously in Gloucestershire no one knows about Blueroom. Turned out I had a T20 against them 3 days later so used my pink Blueroom rather than my rpc. Their faces dropped when they saw the bat and I took 15 off the first opening over... Went on to smash 78* off 39 Balls and they are now scared of anyone using blue rooms!!
Amused me when they said that
-
*Stickers
-
Oppos South African had D&P gear today. Classy.
A lot of ropey SM Pintu stuff amongst their ranks too. No bat should have the words 'bombastic ping' on the stickers...
-
I had another Hawthorn Sports bat this week, can not believe it.
My mate who plays for Garsington played against a guy kitted out in the full set of Affinity kit, bat and softs. He did say the pads were really good, but he did not hang around long enough to see if the bat had a middle.
-
Guy at the weekend for Orset in Essex Div 1 had full Vulcan gear, can't remember his name but a very good left handed opener. Bat went like a gun.
-
In the T20 last night had a full array of hawk kit ,
on our side Pumas AJK and woodstocks
-
A couple of weeks ago we played a bloke who had a GM Diamond Professional which looked as good as new. I seriously considered making him an offer there and then - maybe in the return fixture!
They also had a fella with a refurbed original Scoop.

The overseas at Netherfield in Kendal is D&P sponsored too. Quite a history of professionals they have.
Dale Benkenstein, Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis, Callum Ferguson, Charl Langeveldt, Dirk Nannes. If you're fairly young and foreign, I would get on the blower to them for next year, either they know a player when they see one, bring good luck for the rest of your career, or they put something special in the water.
-
I remember as a teenager watching a young Jacques Kallis at Netherfield. One of my mates was particularly proud of his photo with him! They have had some quality pro's in their time

They really have, Colin Ackermann is the current incumbent. Name to look out for perhaps given their track record.
-
Lovely part of the World too. Two Premier League cricket clubs, beautiful grounds, mint cake and the fells nearby.
-
The south African pro we played against last Wednesday (jaco castle) had all d&p gear.
He hit some of the biggest sixes I'd seen with the bat too!
-
Jaco Castle scored a ton against us in a 15 overs midweek game a couple of years ago, very good player but was playing at completely the wrong standard.
I always liked playing at Netherfield as a kid, only played 2nd XI but I know my Dad played against Kallis and other top quality pro's in the Northern league at that time. Kallis was apparently awful with the ball but scored a lot of runs.
-
Gb619
Who do you play for? He's played in our league for last 3 or 4 seasons midweek. It's only 12over cricket and he scored over 1200 runs one year!
He plays for western Province in south Africa.

Yea that's his name we had a good chat as I was using my Choice that day as well
-
I play for HSBC in the works midweek league, at the time he played for IMI Cornelius against us - we'd beat them away quite easily but he hammered us in the home game.

I play in the alliance Midweek league. But i know this year he has made the odd appearance for civic service in the works league.
I actually played at hsbc on wed, the artificial was so slippy!
-
I play weekends for telecoms who play midweek in the alliance I think. The artificial isn't great up at Dore, really nice facilities generally but not much focus on cricket after our weekend team folded years ago. Nets are very poor and I think the groundsmans focus is on football - understandable really given its far more popular in the bank.
I always wonder what people like him get out of playing way below their level, just seems daft to me but at least he seemed like a decent bloke.

Yea that's his name we had a good chat as I was using my Choice that day as well

Played against a guy wearing all Vantage gear yesterday, all looked very classy. The same couldn't be said about the batsman though, completely village.

Played yesterday and the opposition number 11 came out to bat with a hammer hell 156 . He only got 1 not out but the ball did fly towards long off for his single.
-
Oppo were basically kitted out with either Bradbury, Warsop or Island cricket gear. The ENTIRE side haha!
-
Played against a lovely sounding Vulcan bat yesterday. While the batsman could play the forward defence,not a lot else was on display.
-
10 of the 11 players on display for the oppo today had Newbery head to toe including softs and whites. no 11 who was the experienced player in the side had an SS jumbo that sounded amazing.

Saw someone using a B3 3 Stripe Series bat. Think the guy was sponsored, as he used to play international cricket and was wearing the same softs too. Shame he got bowled middle stump by a full toss!
-
played against a guy opening the batting with a big Joker.
we had two good young quicks playing - he didn't get anything in his half...
-
Who were you playing?
-
Saw some of the ugliest pads ever at the weekend - wish I had taken a photo - think they were made by rugby specialists KooGa.
